How to Recognize a Tree Emergency Before It’s Too Late

You have likely experienced an emergency, most of which can be unfortunate. A minor fall that sent you to the emergency room. A water leak that turned into water damage. That auto accident that cost thousands at the repair shop.

Did you know there are times when even your tree will need emergency tree services? It’s true. Avoiding tree removal or maintenance during emergencies can lead to greater damage, with much higher costs.

Emergency tree care in Phoenix, AZ, is needed more often than many property owners realize. We’ve seen it all. Below are some of the most common tree emergencies that require the expertise of a certified arborist and prompt professional attention.

Emergency Tree Removal Can Prevent Potential Property Damage

That tree that seems to have been growing faster than others is now becoming a potential hazard to your home. If branches are touching your home, anywhere on your home, it could lead to damage. This is a great time to contact your tree trimming company. You may also want to call for help long before the tree touches your house. If you anticipate it becoming a problem, reach out to your professional tree removal company today.

Potential Tree Damage to Other People or Their Property

If you have a tree that is growing in places outside of your property, it’s time to call for help. You do not want to be held liable for property damage, or people damage, caused by your tree.

If a tree is dead and people who are simply walking near it could possibly be harmed by a falling branch, you will be held responsible. Or, if your tree breaks and causes damage to your neighbor’s car or home or she-shed, you will be expected to fix it.

Avoid these situations by getting our emergency tree service professionals in Phoenix to fix issues before they become dangerous.

Storm Damaged Trees

The storms in Phoenix, AZ can be scary. Any season can bring a different threat. Storms of all sizes can damage trees. The damaged trees must be removed or repaired. Storm damage can come from winds, hail, ice, and even flooding. Some storms may damage branches, while others may damage the roots. All types of damage should be assessed by a certified arborist. Your Phoenix tree removal specialist, an arborist, can help you evaluate the damage and create a maintenance plan.

Some plans will include removal of the tree, while others will include pruning. Safety is the goal, however, so follow the recommendations of your emergency tree services contractor.

Diseased or Decayed Trees In Phoenix

Phoenix palm trees and even cacti can become diseased and show signs of decay. If you notice weird growths or growth patterns on your tree, this is a sign something is wrong. Contact your local tree service company as soon as possible.

Damaged roots, unusual coloring or discoloring on any part of the tree, and lack of growth can say a lot about your trees. Getting help from tree service professionals can help you correctly identify, diagnose and treat your tree.

Some specific signs you need to call for tree services include yellowing or spotted leaves, dusty white mildew appearing anywhere on the tree, holes in the bark or leaves, or cankers, also called hollow spots. Tree removal in these cases can save you a lot of time and money.

Sometimes you may see a cluster of new shoots and think that’s great, new growth is good growth. However, this is not always true. Some clusters of new growth can be a symptom of a larger problem. To find out for sure, call Design Tree, your Phoenix, AZ tree service experts for a free estimate.

Is Your Tree is Ugly?

Well, a tree is not necessarily uglier at any time. But they can look aesthetically displeasing, unruly, or out of control.

This may not sound like an emergency but if left untreated, these minor issues can become dangerous, and even more unsightly. A healthy tree is meant to be beautiful and bring joy to those of us who enjoy their many benefits.

So, if every time you look at your tree and wonder how long it will be before it falls over, it’s time to call the pros. If you can see your tree’s roots, call the pros. If you not only see the roots but notice funky fungus, damage or decay, notify us, your Phoenix tree service company today.

If you’re not in need of emergency tree removal right now, don’t let that stop you from calling for help. Prevention is always the best. Tree service professionals can teach you prevention methods that can help you avoid the need for emergency tree care services in the future.

We hired Design Tree to install a paver patio in our backyard. Very impressed with the outcome and would highly recommend! Beautiful work and the crew was timely and very polite. The superintendent on our job was great, unfortunately I am forgetting his name. Highly recommend this company!

My wife and I have been using Design Tree Maintenance for about 6 years now. They've conducted both removals and long term maintenance on three large trees in our backyard. Each visit from them has left us pleased with their work. The process starts with a free onsite quotation (Nick always does our quotes) and on acceptance, the crew is scheduled within about a week or less. This company is full of professionals during all stages of the process. You can get your trees trimmed for less cost, however having trained arborists quoting and conducting the work is worth every penny. Dago and crew always arrive ready to tackle a tough days work. The crew uses modern safety equipment, everyone has helmets and is well trained to use their climbing, rigging, and cutting gear to get the work sorted quickly and safely. The crew lead reviews all planned work prior to starting to ensure the quoting process has communicated everything correctly to the folks doing the laborious work. When everything is wrapped up, the lead once again reviews the work with you to verify you're satisfied. If you want professionals for your project, call these folks.

I have been a customer for over 10 years. Everyone in this company is professional and cares about their customers. They do our annual tree trimming and we have had them place a French drain and recently landscape the 2 courtyards at the front of the house. I cannot recommend this company highly enough. They exceed my expectations with everything they do. They are worth every penny I’ve paid them and am excited to have them landscape the remaining front yard and then the back.!

Gustavo came to my house today and provided excellent service. He used a stump grinder to remove a dead stump and it looks like a tree was never there. Thank you for doing such an awesome job!
